HOUSE BILL NO. 939.

Corporations Required TO File Powers OF
Attorney at Charleston.
Although, during the session of the Leg
stature, the REGISTER contained a men
ton of the fact that H. b. No. 239, requir-
ing powers of attorney by corporations to
be filed in the future with the Secretary OF
State, had passed both Houses, the officials
of corporations, in this end OF the State at
least, have been q little surprised within
the past week or 80, at receiving circulars
from Secretary Walker, calling attention
to the provision of the law, and notifying
them that trouble and expense will be
saved by complying with it.
Heretofore powers of attorney have been
recorded at the Recorders office in the var
ious counties, the expense heing the nOm-
inal sun of $1.25. Now the paper aust
be sent to Charleston for record in the Seq
rotary o fState's Office, and the fee has been
fixed at $475. There are about 500 cor
pOEatiOns. domestic and foreign, which will
come under the provisions of the act, and
there II no little kicking over the matter,
As it is claimed the Law will seSye no good
purpose whatever it being, it is claimed,
only an unnecessary additional expense.

A BOAT BURNED.
Destruction of the steamer Chesapeake,
RuiIt Inv Sweeney & Son.

Destruction of the steamer Chesapeake,
Built by Sweeney & Son.
The steamer Chesapeake, which was de-
stroyed by fire near New Madrid, Mo-, on
the Mississippi, Saturday, was built here
by A. J. Sweeney 4 Son, in lss3, and was
put in the GallipOlis and Parkersburg
trade by her owners, Captain Katy and
brother.
After q time the boat was sold, and was
taken to the st. Johns river, Florida,
where she was run up to last spring, when
she was sold ut auction, and was purchased
by Captain W. p. Hall for 1900. Cap
tain Hall spent about $4,000 in repairs
and the boat was in first class order when
destroyed by the fire of Saturday.
The Chesapeake was n very fast boat,
and on the trial trip made the quickest
time on record to .Wellsburg and Steuben-
vile. She was fitted up with electric
lights and was in every way q credit to
the firm which built the craft. Her first
cost was about $4,000.
The fire broke out ON the starboard side,
near the wheelhOuse. 1t is supposed to
have originated from sparks from the
chimney. Some Of the crew escaped with
difficulty. About $500 in cash was con-
sumed with the boat. There is Sl5, 600
insurance in Louisville and Cincinnati
companies.

Purchases the sixteen Machines of the
Cooperative Works.
Some time after the recent big nailers'
strike began a number Of lOcked-out MingO
and Jefferson mill nailers formed q COM
pany and started a cooperative nail factory
in S~teubenVille, at 3 cost of about 5 5000,
which WAS subscribed for that purpose.
Nail plate shears, engine, boilers and six
teen machines were put in. The
factory Was started up and
ran along successfully for some
time. SrOn being secured from Tyrone, Pa.
But after a while the price of iron was put
up to such q figure that they were unable
to compete with other mills and were COM
PEELED to close down, and it has not run
since. Yesterday morning the sixteen
machines and the plate shears were sold to
the Jefferson company for $4,000. The
machines will be put up at once and given
to old nailers. The Cooperative Com
pany expects to realize about 81, 200 on the
engine and boilers, which will leave them
about s., out of pocket.

NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
The Trades Assembly Will Not Aid tint
Chicago Anarchists.

The Trades Assembly Will Not Aid the
Chicago Anarchists.
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor As
sembly met on Sunday afternoon in Mar
tins Ferry, the principal business trans
acted being the action taken in relation to
the circular soliciting aid in the shape Of a
contribution to a fund to defray the ex-
peuses of defending the Chicago Anarchists
in their anticipated new trial, which was
received some time since by the Assembly.
The matter was the subject of a great deal
of warm discussion, the proposition made
at the previous meeting, being to reject the
circular, the supporters of the measure de-
claring themselves opposed to connection
with Anarchism in any manne or sense.
A delegate in expressing his views stated
that there were three classes Of people con-
.cerned in the battle between capital and
labor. On one hand, the %mOnOpolist and
on the other extreme the Anarchist. Be-
tween these two comes the producer and
working people, who favored the settle.
ment of wage questions in n peaceful
ner, and the Trades Assembly, said he
belonged to the latter class and should
therefore act accordingly.
On the other hand the members who
favored the proposition denied all sympathy
with anarchism, but took the position that
the condemned men, whatever their posi-
ton or calling, were entitled to a fair trial,
which they did not receive in the first
place The subject was discussed from all
points, when a motion to table the circular
was defeated and upon Il motion TO reject
being put it was carried by IN Overwhelm-
ing majority.

SETTLED AT LAST.
THE PARTIES TO THB ~DICKBSCHRID Llfl-
CATION COMPROMISE.
Tia suits all Dismissed, and the Eight Thou
sand Dollars Divided Up Between the
LitganS.

Atlast the long drawn-Out litigation re-
sulting from. the attempt OF Guenther
s~cbuekhardt to remove from this city to Yin
cinnati the S., 600 of silver coin, part OF the
estate of the late DIR. Schuekhardt, has been
osttled in the United States Court by a COM
promise, satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned. Althoughit had been announced In
the newspapers that the session OF the FED
eral Court set for yesterday had been post
poned, Judge Jackson and the other o Il
officers appeared bright and early yes'er-
day morning, and at 10 o'clock the Court
convened. When the case of Ottilie Dick
escheik V. the Exchange Bank and II. Nj.
Russell, administrator of the estate oil
Guenther Schuckhardt, deceased, was
called, it was announced by counsel that
a compromise had been agreed upon, by
which the Exchange Bank was to
he forever discharged from all
liability in the premises. and
that John J. Jones, receiver, was to pay
to the said Henry NJ. Russell, administra-
tor, two-thirds of the money in litigation
including interest, in his hands to the
credit of this cause, and the remaining third
TO the said OtilIie Dickescheid. Out Of the
aforementioned third of the money the
costs of the suits in all the courts in which
the cause has appeared are to be paid.
1t was further agreed between the said
II. NJ. Russell, administrator, and Louisa
Dickescheid that the action in the Ohio
County Circuit Court, between Wendell
Dickescheid, plaintiff, and the administra-
tor defendant, shall be dismissed at the
costs of the said Wendell, and the admin
istrator be released from all liability. The
suit in chancery between the administrator
and Wendell Dickescheid and Louisa, his
wife, is also to be dismissed at the costs OF
the administrator, and the said Wendell
Dickescheid and wife are to be released
from all liability.
The amount of money involved in this
matter is about So, 900, with interest for
something like three years.

STATE U LICENSE.
The New Law Goes Into Effect MI
23d.

The New Law Goes Into Effect May
esd.
There has been a good deal of anxiety
lately on the part of liquor dealers and
saloon keepers as to the date when the new
license law goes into effect, increasing the
State tax from $3.50 to $3.50. The law will
90 into effect May Odd, and the Secretary
of State will shortly send out a circular to
the county officials, fully explaining the
matter. The license year expires May /,
and all liquor dealers who pay their license
between that date and May 23d, will have
to hand over but $50, the amount paid
last year. Any one allowing the 23d OF
May to 60 by without payment, however,
will come under the provisions Of the new
law, and will have to pay the full amount
of $3.50. ,
Two years ago, the Legislature changed
the liquor license, raising il from 500 to
$50. The law did not go into effect until
May 18th, and as a consequence everyone
was careful to pay up before that date,
thus saving $50. 1t is safe to say that
payments this year will be very prompt,
as 500 is TO be saved, instead Of $50.

yesterday. Daniel Coughlin, superintend-
ent of bridges and t~restles on the c., l.. &
w, has charge OF the work, which is be-
ing done to allow that roads Martins

Ously placed into position to hold them.
From the end the floor raises with an even
grade to the middle pier, making the
grade much lighter, and at the same time
